This recipe was a total surprise to me…I generally add potato to other vegetables like cauliflower..brinjal,tomato..or i just fry it as it is..but adding soaked chana dal was new to me. The texture was really crunchy and super delicious. I learnt this unique recipe from my dear MIL..so here it goes! Do try this recipe and share the experience.

Potato dal curry

Ingredients
2 cups diced potato cubes
3/4th cup chana dal or senagapappu
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp coriandar powder
salt to taste
2 tbs oil

For tempering
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
1/4 tsp jeera seeds
1/4 tsp urad dal
10 curry leaves

Method

• Take a deep boiling pan and add water till potato cubes are completely immersed in the water. Add the dal along with the potatoes and let it boil. The potato cubes should be a little hard. Overcooking the potatoes will make the curry paste like and it will ruin the taste.
• Strain the potatoes and dal in a straining pan and let it cool down.
• Take another pan, add oil and the tempering ingredients. Add the potato,dal, red chilli powder, coriandar powder and salt and mix it well. Fry it till the dal turns crispy. Garnish it with chopped coriandar leaves and serve hot with rice or chapatis.
